That's why I contacted you. And you did (help)! Thank you very much! You are absolutely right! Apart from that, the German "fast" translates into "nearly" in English. So reading your sentence as "Germany has nearly punctual trains" - that's more than we could have expected. :-)

Woo-hoo, thank you very much guys for all your very, very helpful hints and information! As far as the "Peak-, Off Peak-, Super Off Peak, In&Out of London-times" are concerned, well, to be honest, I thought we had a complicated tariff system in Germany, but you can very well catch up! ;-) I...

Thank you very, very much "30907", for your very helpful hints! You describe it exactly, I am looking for "something like Mukran" :-) Unfortunately Mukran is that far away that it would take me presumably more than double the time than coming to the UK... For the moment, I favour the museum in...

Dear friends and experts, I am from Germany, looking for a ticket from London Paddington to Saundersfoot on February 7th, 2020. I checked the prices on GWR's website, finding out that the cheapest price for my desired journey actually starts from £56.60 which is a "Super Off-Peak Single"...

Wow! Thanks a lot Bevan Price, that is a very interesting link you provided! But yes, you are right, in this case I am looking fewer for spots like Clapham Junction but more for the depots open to the public. Or, even better, locations where trains have been parked after being out of service...

Dear friends and experts, a friend of mine loves three things: trains, photography and lost places. I am looking for a possibility to combine all three of them for him. We are from Germany but I am looking for such "lost places" in the UK (preferably in or around London) to combine the trip...

Thank you very, very much craigybagel, that was detailed! Am I informed correctly that a VT staff always ends his/her shift at his/her home depot? In Germany you usually get to an overnight stop somewhere in the network about one or two times a week.

Thank you very much for all the new comments here, very much appreciated. In Germany, most staff on-board usually are conductors checking tickets (I am surprised there is only one in total on a Virgin Pendolino with up to 11 coaches!). In ICE trains there is usually (not in all but most) one...

Hi Matty, thank you very much for your reply and information provided. I quite liked the refurbished (?) interior with leather seats in first class. Your colleagues have been very friendly and helpful and I liked it a lot to use GC. Unfortunately there was no included meal service in first...

Thank you LowLevel (and all the other users posting replies as well!) for your answer!

For what I'd love them even more! Thank you Bletchleyite! Any ideas about the numbers on LNER or Grand Central?

Those came additionally (wearing VT clothes or carried VT bags) :-) One of the service staff offered coffee, another one (!) offered tea. One took breakfast orders and delivered them in my coach, another one in other coaches. I am pretty sure this was the case. I am working for Germany's...

All at the same time, all on-board the 6:52 ex Edinburgh last Friday. One was leaving already at Carlisle I think, the others continued.

Thank you for your quick reply Sam, but there have been definitely more. I was sitting in the very first coach, including the galley. I saw at least four doing first class catering service and one chef. There surely was one in the shop (which I didn't visit), minimum one conductor and...

Hello folks, I am from Germany and have been travelling around your beautiful country by train for five days last week. I was, once again, impressed by the hospitality and service onboard LNER East Coast and on Virgin Trains West Coast, both in First Class. Can anybody help me out with the...

Thank you very much, Mag_seven and DaiGog for your help!

Hello guys, does anyone of you have an idea about where I can buy an FIP discounted 50% ticket for, let's say France, online without having to visit a ticket office? Kind regards Chris

Great, once again learned something new :-) Stay tuned as I might pop in with more questions ;-)

Thanks a lot The Grew! Remains only one question: why does Virgin operate Voyagers at all if they can go electric the whole way? Not enough Pendolinos in the fleet?

Thank you LNW-GW Joint, great help!
